Grasping her fiddle bow tightly In her small fingers, Baby Alice looked out over the heads of the orchestra, out over the heads of one of the largest audiences ever assembled in Spokane, smiled a little tremulously at mother and daddy, who sat in the front row, and then, although she admitted afterwards she was "awful scared," she drew her bow smoothly across the strings In the first notes of the stirring French hymn. In another second the strains were swelled by fifty instruments, and Baby Alice had to lead the chorus several times to silence the applause. A great ovation was given the "Di vine Sarah" aff the curtain 'fell at the close of "Champs d'Honneur." Her artistry was shown in the role of a young Parisian actor, who be comes a color-sergeant in his regi ment. There were few dry eyes in the house as the young sergeant in dying, clutched the flag he thought in his delirium he had lost, crying "Vive la France." The play is in Bernhardt's own language with the exception of the three English words, "God Bless America," which brought a burst of applause. Spokane declared Madame Bern hardt the picture of health and vigor, in spite of her 73 years, looking and talking the part of youth. She had much praise for the baby violinist, with whom she said she was obliged to share the honors of the evening.

SEES TWO U-BOATS SENT TO BOTTOM Andrew Stephenson, Rotarian, Witness to Destruction of Hun Submarines Baltimore Andrew Stephenson, secretary of the Rotary Club of Edinburgh, Scotland, and honorary secretary of the Association of Ro tary In Great Britain, thrilled the members of the Baltimore Rotary Club at their weekly luncheon held in the Hotel Rennert with the de scription of the sinking of two Ger man submarines, which took place only a few days ago while he was on his way to this country from Eng land. Mr. Stephenson, in company with Andrew Home Morton, president of the Rotary Club of London and president of the Association of Ro tary in Great Britain, have been sent to this country by the British gov ernment to attend the convention of the International Association of Ro tary, which will shortly be held in Kansas City. In giving out the information, Mr. Stephenson said that while he had been pledged to secrecy about tl"j name of the ship, location where the sinkings took place, he was privileg ed to announce the sinkings of the two submarines which took place after the ship was a few days out from Liverpool. "I can state that I sailed from Liverpool, and when two hours out we were notified that we must ap ply for lifeboat tickets," said Mr. Stephenson. "Later we had boat drill so that each person on board would know how to reach the life boats in case the ship was attacked by a submarine. We were also in formed that unless we came to our meals with life belts we would not be served. The second day out, while we were at dinner, the pas sengers were startled by a dull thump against the ship's side. The steward ordered all persons to remain in their seats and said nothing had happened. Later we found that a German submarine had made an at tack on one of the ships in the con voy and then submerged. An Ameri can destroyer immediately made fo.- the spot where the submarine went down and exploded a depth charge, sinking the submarine. "The next morning a German sub marine appeared right alongside of the ship. The first shot fired at it went wide, but the second hit it squarely and the sea wolf went down with all its crew."
